How can I change the WAN port of my x6 R8000 to 1000M from 100M?
I bought R8000 several years ago when I was using a 100M network. Now, I have upgraded the network service to 1000M. I am getting no more than 100M speed in the Speed Test. I entered the router admin...
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Have you powered OFF both Modem and router for 1 minute then back on? I would pull the power adapter for the R8000 from the wall, then plug back in.
The speed on all ports is auto detected. There is no user setting.
As a quick test, connect a wired PC to the WAN port on the R8000 and look at the connection speed seen on the Status option window in Windows to see if the PCs ethernet is connecting at 100Mb or 1Gb.
